Actel manufacture and supply field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Their architecture permits easy migration to ASICs for volume applications. Actel also supply design systems which are compatible with industry standard CAE platforms. Designs can be accepted in schematics, synthesis or boolean inputs. Actel supply fully automatic place and route software and hardware programmers.
